Gas House Beach
Marblehead, MA
Gas House Beach is one of Marblehead's small public harbor beaches, with a mix of sand and cobble along the water. It sits in the old part of town, where the narrow streets and moorings make the whole shoreline feel close. It is more of a dip and a look than a full beach day.
A quiet, historic harbor beach that locals use, though small size and tight parking limit it.
How we score beachesParking rules in the old town are strict, so read posted signs before leaving the car. Walking in from downtown is often easier.
Parking is on nearby streets and set by the town, so check posted signs.
The beach is a short walk over sand and cobble from the street.
Summer harbor mornings are lovely, and fall brings quieter shores with sailboats still on their moorings.
